About the Event & Facility
Join us for a weekend of diving, snorkeling, camping, hiking and just plain fun.  Bring along the whole family!  All activities will begin at noon on Friday and continue into Sunday.   Air fills will be available on site for $8 per fill.  Tanks must have current hydrostatic test dates and visual inspection stickers including Visual Eddy testing for Aluminum tanks.

We will be staying at the Cuyuna Country Campground located on Portsmouth Mine.  To get there take Co Rd 30 out of Crosby/Ironton north about one mile and follow the signs to the campground.  Crosby/Ironton is located east of Brainerd, MN  about 15 miles on highway 210.  To see a map of the Crosby/Ironton area scroll to the bottom of this page.  I have reserved a group campsite for the weekend and am taking a $24 deposit to hold campsites for interested parties.  The group campsite is the only campsite that can be reserved.  Contact Northwest Divers to reserve your campsite.  All other campsites are first come first served so arrive early if you don't wish to take advantage of the group campsite.  Cost for the campground is $12 per night for a basic site and $!6 per night for a site with electricity.  A State Park Vehicle Permit is $5 per day or $25 per year and is required to enter the campground.

Note: As of now the shower house is operational at the campground.  Wahoo!!!
